[Verse 1]
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray

[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

[Verse 2]
In Bethlehem, in Jewry
This blessed babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
For which his mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn

[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
[Verse 3]
From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The son of God by name

[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

[Verse 4]
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
All others doth deface

[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
